Not this year or next, after I get some experience over 6500m... but it's on the bucket list now. K2 takes preference over Everest due to difficulty, but I wouldn't say no to a shot at Everest.

I'm actually organizing a climbing team right now for Aconcogua next January, then Denali in mid May. We'll see how it goes. That'd knock down 2 of the 7 summits in 5 months. Not bad imho.

Wasn't even aware of that mountain....the one in Chile. Would LOVE to see pics or video of your climb on that one...looks awesome. Good luck getting your group together!

That's just crazy, lol. Good luck to you if you want to but spend a LOT of time reading about it, reading material from and/or talking to people that have done it, and for the love of God dump all of your money into doing it right.

What's the mortality rate of the climbs on these 2 mountains....at least by the paths you think you would take?
